Official Synopsis

Successful Businessman Peter Popolampo (Hlomla Dandala) is the ultimate alpha male. He is 40 years old, rich, and a staunch bachelor.

Despite his mother’s persistent attempt to find him a woman, Peter sticks to his rule of non-committal casual dates, freedom and controlling his life until a yearning to have a child arises.

In his quest to find the woman who will take his money, have his child and disappear, Peter begins a roller coaster, contracted relationship with Abena Boateng (Yvonne Okoro), a crude but clever local girl who is anything but impressed with Peter’s affluence.

With a clear definitive contract outlining the dos and don’ts of bearing Peter Popolampo’s child, these two opposites must exercise every ounce of will power not to kill each other until the child is born.

An unsuspecting Romantic Comedy with unusual twists that exposes the flaws in being in control of your life.

Smart crew = Great movie. I love the behind the scenes clips. Love how the behind the scenes crew appeared to feel as much a part of the movie as the actors and director/ producer/ etc did and not just mere tools to achieve a goal. My take on it.

To answer your question, Bella Nija, nope, can’t see myself being a surrogate. I’m still afraid of childbearing for my own kids talk less of for someone else lol.
Love Shirley Frimpong-Manso movies. Hopefully those outside of Africa will get an opportunity to see the movie very SOON.
